[FIXED] Event schema missing location (Google detects as error)

[Brettflan]

This is a minor issue which doesn't actually personally bother me, other than having Google Search Console occasionally reporting it to me as an error.

The e-mail from Google about it:

Search Console has identified that your site is affected by 6 Events issues:

We recommend that you fix these issues when possible to enable the best experience and coverage in Google Search.

The example affected URL which Google indicated:

NW DLC - EU Campaign - Public Event

forums.taleworlds.com

And their reference page for the Event schema:

Learn About Google Event Schema Markup | Google Search Central | Documentation | Google for Developers

Make it easier for people to discover and attend your online or offline events by adding schema markup to your event pages.

developers.google.com

I can see that the schema in the page source for that event is indeed missing the "location" field, as well as the list of lesser Warning fields. As a side note, as per my related feature request, you can see the user who created that event specified a location which is a virtual one indicating a game server, and so the map isn't really appropriate there.

Look like we need only include schema data when event has location filled. Also the map look wrong yet.
